AB - Source code obfuscation is an essential technique for software security and intellectual property protection. Traditional source code obfuscation methods depend on human-driven processes or predefined algorithms implemented by obfuscation tools. As a result, it becomes difficult to effectively manage the quality and complexity of obfuscated code. However, given that the required level of obfuscation differs based on the threat model, we need to develop techniques that can flexibly adjust the level and complexity of obfuscation. This paper proposes an automated framework that generates obfuscated source code from original source code using GPT-4o. The proposed framework generates prompts based on 12 obfuscation techniques and utilizes these prompts as input to GPT-4o. The generated obfuscated source code is executed and verified to ensure that it maintains the same intended functionality as the original code. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework successfully executed 48 out of 60 obfuscated source codes while effectively applying the intended obfuscation techniques.
